grieve the reality, bravely walk forward
Divorce Recovery
in person therapy for adults in Greenville
You never expected to be here.
It feels like there’s been a death, but the other person is still alive. It’s confusing. And it hurts so much.
That’s divorce.
You’re grieving the good times, the love lost, maybe the way things were handled, the change to your identity, and a future you didn’t sign up for. Maybe it’s more than that…you were blindsided or even traumatized by your partner’s actions.
The pain of divorce is real.
But rarely acknowledged. Just because something is “common” doesn’t mean it isn’t shockingly hard.
You aren’t crazy for struggling. And you’re in the right place if you need to spend time working through the pain in order to move forward.
You may have a lot of physical symptoms, like trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, anxiety, and longing for physical touch.
You have to spend time handling a lot of logistics in a process you know nothing about, all while grieving.
You may be seeing your relationship through an honest lens for the first time, and it’s emotional.
These are really typical experiences that can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
You are valuable. You are worthy of healing.
The reality is you are a kind and capable person who is faced with a hugely disorienting change. You might just need some tools to get back on your feet and reconnect with yourself, and space to gain perspective and a plan.
You can figure out who you are or who you want to be and act in alignment with that at each and every step in the process.
You can get crystal clear about your values and what you can control, and what you can’t.
You can find more and more strength and bravery to show up for yourself and work on building a life you love, even in the midst of grief. There’s no time like the present.
